I spend 4-5 months in Maine each summer and fall where mosquitos and ticks are always present. A few years ago I got Insect Shield shirts, pants and socks and discovered how effective they are in keeping me from getting insect bites. Now when I am in Maine I only dress in Insect Shield clothing which means I can outside all day and forget about disease-carrying insects. I feel carefree being out of doors which is the way it should be. I have recommended Insect Shield to everyone in the camps near me especially when they complain that they can't go hiking for fear of getting Lyme disease from mosquito bites. Insect Shield is a simple solution.
